A web-audio exploration for data sonification
Wave propagation simulation is an exploration of web audio and real-time browser-based synthesis. It is an experiment on sonification of physical phenomena via principles of additive and frequency modulation-based synthesis.
Two-dimensional waves travel through a surface, perturbing the soundscape. Their interferences shape audible moments of intersection before returning to a diffused state. Every action stirs and interacts with its surroundings, and where perturbations collide, we can focus on how these interferences affect us.

This project was created within the scope of the Sound: Past and Future class at the MIT Media Lab in Spring 2020. It is a study for a spatial installation in progress. For more info on the class and other people's projects, look here.
